Fallen Nation
Mother of a nation
Daughter of God
Shot, stabbed, killed by the hands of her child
What shall become of us now that she’s gone?
He’s taken over us and harm has been done
We’ve falling captive to his evil trap
My loved one’s died by the hands of his death wraps
Children carrying guns, men beating women, sons killing their mothers
Can they be forgiven?
I was told that Jesus died on the cross to save us from sin
Yet some of us can’t even find the peace within
I look around at all my loved one’s faces
Then I notice all the empty spaces
“Father forgive them for they know not what they do”
Is what I hear Jesus saying
Ha! A prayer for peace (now that’s insane too)
I wake up in the morning with a smile on my face
Until I remember the pain, the smile on your face
They took you from us
I can’t get you back
If you was here then you’d be upset
Cuz’ the dudes you messed with made a joke out of your death
Dude how would you feel if it was you instead
But I guess it don’t matter cuz’ your living your life like your already dead
You stand on the corner with a smile on your face
How can you smile when you took him from this place?
His last words were “all I see is darkness”
Now that he’s gone that’s all I feel is darkness
I realize now what I didn’t before
That when I die we’ll meet again just like before
That song Oh Happy Day will feel our hearts with joy
